Guido invents a false answer and thus begins a pattern of creative deception to shield the boy from the ugly reality.

On the day of little Giosu’s sixth birthday party, Guido and the boy are abruptly hauled off for deportation along with all of the town’s Jews. Upon entering the box car at the train depot, Guido answers his son’s inquiry about what is going on by pretending the entire thing is a game and the goal is to follow papa’s rules and win points. It works, the boy likes this game.

The brilliance of this film is that it shifts to the little boy’s point of view once they enter the concentration camp seemingly to play papa’s fascinating new game in which the goal is to outwit your opponents, the SS, and tally a thousand points to win a genuine tank. This takes place amid a scenario in which the Nazis routinely gas all of the old people and young children considered unfit for work.

The daily life and death game continues as Guido performs slave labor while his little boy hides out in the men’s barracks while somehow learning that other kids are being ‘cooked’ in ovens in the camp.

The day eventually arrives when the Nazis hastily begin burning documents and evacuate or shoot the remaining inmates. This is the end of the game and I don’t want to give away anything here, because the ending of this movie is magnificent and I found it deeply touching.

When you have diabetes, ignoring your illness is not an option. Proper maintenance and treatment of your diabetes is a matter of life and death. Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in the US, and the reason the disease is so deadly is that many people do not take the proper care of themselves – the care that starts with the help of a glucose monitor.

Why do many diabetics not use their glucose meters as they should? In many cases, the reason is financial. Glucose meters can be extraordinarily expensive. In fact, they can cost in the range of a few thousand dollars, depending on the type of meter you hope to get. The cost is simply unmanageable for many diabetes patients.

There is hope, however. There are cheap glucose monitor systems to be had. You simply need to know where to look to find them. One of the best places to start looking for a great deal is on the websites of the manufacturers of the meters.

Believe it or not, some companies offer free meter promotions on a regular basis. In the interim, many manufacturers have coupons for discounts on meters on their sites that you can print before your buy. You can also look at the websites of diabetes research fundraising groups, who often partner with manufacturers to offer discounts to diabetics in need of financial aid to buy meters.

If these options don’t work, check with your doctor. Most doctors have access to used meters, and while they might not be ideal, they can get you through a hard time.

When was the last time you noticed the pick up men at a rodeo? If they just seem to blend into the arena background, they’re doing an excellent job. In all the excitement of rodeo’s rough stock events, the job of these ghosts of the arena might mean the difference between life and death for the cowboys. However, you’d never know it to watch the action. The rough stock rider has everyone’s attention for 8 seconds. However, when the ride is over, getting the cowboy out of the arena alive and unhurt literally rides on the broad shoulders of the pick up men. The crowd doesn’t notice them, but you can bet your boots that the rider knows where his pick-up men are!

Pick-up men go through their own rituals.

Most rodeo performances have the bareback riding kicking off the show. While the flags of the grand entry circle the arena, the rank bucking horses are loaded into the chutes. The fans get cranked up and the excitement becomes electric! Meanwhile, off behind the arena, the pick-up men are going through their own rituals. Two pick up riders are required during a rodeo performance. It’s a dangerous job. Heavy saddles are slapped on, cinches tightened, ropes checked. Horses paw the ground nervously and each pick up man put his game face on. These guys know that lives depend on them, and the responsibility etches a few more lines in their weathered faces.

Lightening quick response!

Most rodeo pick-up men bring several horses to each performance. A lighter, faster horse is used for the bareback and saddle bronc events. There are two things that can happen when the chute gate opens. The rider either makes the 8 second whistle or he gets bucked off. Either way, the pick-up men and their horses have to respond with lightening speed. When the cowboy makes the horn and scores an official ride, he quits spurring and hangs on for a rough ride. His horse usually quits bucking and heads straight for the fence. That’s when the pick-up men earn their money. Their job is to get to the cowboy as fast as possible and let him grab on to their arm, shoulder or the back of their saddle. Then, if all goes well, they set him down gently and disappear like ghosts into the background of the arena again.

Skill and experience make the difference.

If a cowboy gets hung up in his rigging, or the pick-up men can’t catch up with the bucking horse, the outcome could be a disaster. That’s when skill and experience of a good pick up rider can make the difference. If a cowboy’s hand gets stuck in the rigging or a boot hangs up in a stirrup, both pick-up men need to communicate with each other and the cowboy. One will try to get a rope on a bareback horse or grab the saddle broncs halter rope to stop him from running. The other tries to avoid flailing hooves and move in on the other side of the bucking horse. If he can help the cowboy get loose, he takes his shot. If not, he’ll try to crowd the bucking horse enough to slow him down and still get the cowboy loose. With some good luck, all injuries are avoided and it’s on to the next contestant.

Bulls don’t usually go quietly out of the arena.

The last event of each rodeo performance is bull riding. For the fans, it’s the most exciting part of rodeo. For pick-up men, it’s the ultimate challenge. This is where his heavy horse earns his oats. The bullfighters and barrel men are there to distract the bull, so the cowboy can get out of the arena. Most of the time bull riders are not counting on the pick-up men for immediate help.When the bullfighter has the attention of that big and dangerous bull, the rider scoots up the fence and out of danger. Then, the job of both pick-up men begins as they haze the bull out of the arena, before he can do much damage. With almost a ton of beef on the hoof, the pick-up men hope the bull goes quietly through the return gate. If he decides to get stubborn though, all bets are off and the pick-up men must rope the bull and drag him out of the arena. Many good pick-up men have had their horses gored or knocked down. When that happens, a pick up riders life can get very interesting. When the rodeo is over, most of the rough stock guys stop by sit on the tailgate of a truck, near the pick-up men. They all crack a cool one and have some laughs. Still, you can hear some quiet murmurs of thanks as the bronc and bull riders get ready to leave. They know how much those ghosts of the arena mean to each of them.

Hunting is a great adventurous hobby. Hunting of animals like Deer is interesting. For some hunting deer is also passion. It has a long history and even many fairytales about deer hunting. Different countries have different rules for deer and their hunts. Some restricts them and some allows them to be hunted. Let get to know more about this beautiful animal and its existence.

Deer are well distributed over the world, but the Virginia deer is a distinct species that is native to America. This fact, together with the American principle of freedom to own arms and the freedom to hunt, makes the hunting of these animals an American institution.

Previous to the discovery of this country, deer, as well as all other game, were the property of the land owning nobility and the right to hunt was denied the common man. This was all changed with the settling of America. Deer were plentiful in this new land and belonged to the man who could bag them. Here the hunting of deer ceased to be a sport and became a serious business, often of almost life-and-death importance to the early settlers.

In the struggle for existence, these animals played an important role and the development of this country would not have advanced as rapidly as it did without the aid of the meat and skins that they supplied. As the country became more thickly settled and the practice of animal husbandry became general, the importance of venison as a food became less. This did little to ease the hunting pressure on the deer herds because there was still a demand for such a choice food and because an increasing number of people, hunting on a sport basis, were soon competing with the market hunters. This unrestricted hunting result in depleting the herds so that deer became practically nonexistent in the more heavily populated areas. Foresighted men saw the need of protecting these deer for future generations and gradually the different states assumed control and undertook the management of the deer herds.

Restrictions were very liberal at first, but even so, there was opposition to them by many hunters. This opposition to restrictions is still held by many short sighted people at the present time, but without these controls, deer hunting as we know it would not be available to the general public as it is today. With the deer population in its present healthy condition, the hunter has an opportunity to enjoy this sport at its best at a cost that almost anyone can afford. Some years ago, I saw statistics that showed that it cost, on an average, a little over a hundred dollars to bag a deer. These figures were based on the amount of money spent by hunters and on the number of deer killed. Probably these figures are considerably higher at the present time, due to inflated prices. This does not mean that every man that shoots a deer must spend this amount of money on the hunt. Those who hunt and fail to bag a deer outnumber those who are lucky enough, or who have sufficient hunting intelligence, to be successful in their hunting efforts, so that average costs do not mean much to those who kill their deer.

The deer not only provides good meats but also has helped mankind in its fight with rough weathers. Therefore there is a growing awareness to protect the increasing hunts for this animal because their unrestricted hunts is signaling its alarming sounds of its extinction from most the forests of the world.

You know I have just about heard enough about all these tough football stars who are paid millions of dollars to wear lots of protection pads and bump into each other on the field for 15-seconds at a time? Why? Well, I will tell you why, because the real men ride the rodeo and 15-seconds, hell 8 seconds is a literal eternity on a 6,000 to 8,000 pound bull of pure muscle that wants you the hell off of there.

They do not get million dollar endorsements to go on Television to drink some colorful foo foo soft drink or airport outlawed sports drink. These guys are severely under paid and riding rodeo is 50 times as dangerous and you do not wear any pads to protect yourself as the bull tries to break every bone in your body and re-arrange your face.

For those who have never been to a pro-rodeo event you need to get your butts down there to see one? That is where the real action is in a life and death survival of man vs monster. There is no greater adrenaline rush than riding a bull when that gate opens and for those who dare to take the full ride there is often hell to pay, but in the end the pay offs rarely cover the lifetime medical costs of such a hazardous sport.

It is amazing that we Americans sit and watch our Televisions sets and think football is such a rough sport. Heck that is merely a bunch of humans running around and into each other wearing lots of padding protection. Rodeo, well lets just say that is where the real men play and they play for keeps. So, consider this in 2006.
